This is an original Decca pressing for the Capitol label.
Everybody knows of the superb sound of the early Decca recordings and this follows that path. I have just completely played the disc without even cleaning it and it sounds superb. I do not have a MONO cartridge but using one will only enhance the wonderful sound of this violin concerto.
She was a child prodigy and recorded this piece when she was just 23 years old.

This great record plays with no loud pops or loud clicks, and absolutely no skips or repeats. A solid all round example of this great vinyl. No loud tics loud clicks or loud pops. No jumps No repeats.
Superb condition for a 67 year old record. EX+.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

THE LABELS
Great all round deep coloured examples. See photos. No trace of spindle marks. Near Mint.

THE RECORD – VISUAL GRADING
A great piece of glossy vinyl, and a really thick pressing. Deep clear grooves that can only be found on the original early pressings.
A really wonderful example. Graded EX+.

THE COVER. Zoom on the pictures to see more.
This is a great cover too. A small loss at 6 o'clock and the back has some age wear. Not surprising for a record that is sixty seven years old. See photos for more detail..

A great solid example. All round, this is a really nice original cover. Grades as VG+.

THE INNER
Original Decca blocked sleeve. EX.

Will be sent with a NAGAOKA anti static inner sleeve as well as the original one.
Overall a really great looking AND sounding copy.
You will not be disappointed!

MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.
